Bet Low (1924-2007) made Glasgow her home after studying at Glasgow School of Art, completing her studies in 1945. Bet’s first studio was in Sauchiehall Street across from Glasgow Unity Theatre Centre, located in one of the still existing Georgian houses in this major shopping street. Bet exhibited widely at many venues across Glasgow including the McLellan Galleries from the late 1940s onwards and also the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists Club located in Blythswood Square.
Hildegarde Berwick studied History of Fine Art and Psychology at Glasgow University and a post-graduate Diploma at Manchester University. She has held a number of curatorial roles in galleries across Scotland. She has also worked for Scottish charities in a governance role. Hildegarde is now pursuing several research projects, including the life and work of Glasgow based artist, Bet Low.
This event is part of the exhibition programme for Bet Low: An Island On Your Doorstep, Reid Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art (11 January – 8 February 2025).
